Tottenham defender Cristian Romero has admitted that adapting to life in the Premier League was initially "hard" for him following his switch from Atalanta. Signed by Fabio Paratici last August, the 24-year-old has already become a firm favourite at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with his no-nonsense displays.
Having to do without him for three months in the middle of last campaign due to a hamstring injury sustained on international duty, his return at the start of February was a pivotal factor in the Lilywhites going on to qualify for the Champions League. Standing out with his big tackles, desire to move forward out of defence and his want to make life incredibly difficult for his opponents, Romero has had to be quite careful at times in games for Spurs due to picking up a yellow card.
A regular in the referee's notebook during his time in Italy, the Argentina international received 11 yellows in all competitions for Tottenham last season. Despite the high number of cautions which left him walking a tightrope at times, he does believe that it has actually helped him how to master playing while on a yellow card.
